BILL NUMBER: S6077

SPONSOR: BRISPORT
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the social services law, in relation to establishing
differential payment rates to child care providers who provide care to
children experiencing homelessness or who provide care to children
during nontraditional hours

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one would require that local social services districts pay a
child care a differential of 15% for providing care to children experi-
encing homelessness and for children in need of care during non-tradi-
tional hours.

Section two would set an effective date of the first of April next
succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Current law allows local social services districts to pay a differential
of at least 5%, but no more than 15%, for providers who offer care to
children from families experiencing homelessness and for children who
need care during non-traditional hours (evening, nights, and weekend).
This legislation would require that all districts offer a 15% differen-
tial for providing care to children in these two categories.

For many parents, especially those who work at night or on weekends,
finding this type of care is extremely difficult. This leaves them with
the difficult choice between not working or leaving their children in
unlicensed and unregulated care.  This legislation will incentivize
additional providers to offer care for children in these categories. It
will allow families struggling with homelessness to have a place to care
for their children while they are searching for work, at an education
program, or at work. It will give parents who work overnight or on week-
ends the confidence that they are leaving their children with providers
who are licensed and qualified to do so.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

To be determined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the first of April next succeeding the
date on which it shall have become a law.
